Pondo gets a lot of shit for sucking (and he does suck) and basically being a backyarder (which he basically is), but he's actually a really nice guy and is very, very fond of wrestlers that can do the things he can't. He's a big mark for juniors and guys who can work. I would think, or at least hope, that eventually it won't just be hardcore but a mix of styles. He has a lot of friends, which is a nice cushion for the start.
